RCTFC club’s first foray into the indoor track scene was met with early season success on the track and in the field Feb 13-14, 2016!

Two Junior RCTFC athletes and three midget athletes showed up to compete in 15 events and came away with a Gold medal, four Silvers and three Bronze.

More importantly, the meet resulted in multiple strong early season performances all around as confirmed by Head Coach Sean Dixon.
